| Obverse description | Armored half-length bust of Elector Christian I of Saxony facing right, depicted in elaborate full plate armor with a ruffled lace collar visible at the neck. The elector holds a drawn sword over his right shoulder and clasps an electoral hat adorned with a feathered plume in his left hand. The finely detailed portrait displays curly hair and a short beard, rendered in the high-relief style characteristic of late 16th-century Saxon coinage. The effigy is set within a beaded inner circle, with the circumscribed Latin legend distributed around the periphery reading CHRISTIANVS DVX SAXONIAE ELECTOR. |
